Psalm 104

 ^104:1Bless Yahweh, my soul.
      Yahweh, my God, you are very great.
      You are clothed with honor and majesty.

 ^104:2He covers himself with light as with a garment.
      He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.

 ^104:3He lays the beams of his chambers in the waters.
      He makes the clouds his chariot.
      He walks on the wings of the wind.

 ^104:4He makes his messengers winds;
      His servants flames of fire.

 ^104:5He laid the foundations of the earth,
      That it should not be moved forever.

 ^104:6You covered it with the deep as with a cloak.
      The waters stood above the mountains.

 ^104:7At your rebuke they fled.
      At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.

 ^104:8The mountains rose,
      The valleys sank down,
      To the place which you had assigned to them.

 ^104:9You have set a boundary that they may not pass over;
      That they don't turn again to cover the earth.

 ^104:10He sends forth springs into the valleys.
      They run among the mountains.

 ^104:11They give drink to every animal of the field.
      The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

 ^104:12The birds of the sky nest by them.
      They sing among the branches.

 ^104:13He waters the mountains from his chambers.
      The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.

 ^104:14He causes the grass to grow for the cattle,
      And plants for man to cultivate,
      That he may bring forth food out of the earth:

 ^104:15Wine that makes glad the heart of man,
      Oil to make his face to shine,
      And bread that strengthens man's heart.

 ^104:16Yahweh's trees are well watered,
      The cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;

 ^104:17Where the birds make their nests.
      The stork makes its home in the fir trees.

 ^104:18The high mountains are for the wild goats.
      The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.

 ^104:19He appointed the moon for seasons.
      The sun knows when to set.

 ^104:20You make darkness, and it is night,
      In which all the animals of the forest prowl.

 ^104:21The young lions roar after their prey,
      And seek their food from God.

 ^104:22The sun rises, and they steal away,
      And lay down in their dens.

 ^104:23Man goes forth to his work,
      To his labor until the evening.

 ^104:24Yahweh, how many are your works!
      In wisdom have you made them all.
      The earth is full of your riches.

 ^104:25There is the sea, great and wide,
      In which are innumerable living things,
      Both small and great animals.

 ^104:26There the ships go,
      And leviathan, whom you formed to play there.

 ^104:27These all wait for you,
      That you may give them their food in due season.

 ^104:28You give to them; they gather.
      You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.

 ^104:29You hide your face: they are troubled;
      You take away their breath: they die, and return to the dust.

 ^104:30You send forth your Spirit: they are created.
      You renew the face of the ground.

 ^104:31Let the glory of Yahweh endure forever.
      Let Yahweh rejoice in his works.

 ^104:32He looks at the earth, and it trembles.
      He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

 ^104:33I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live.
      I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

 ^104:34Let your meditation be sweet to him.
      I will rejoice in Yahweh.

 ^104:35Let sinners be consumed out of the earth.
      Let the wicked be no more.
      Bless Yahweh, my soul.
      Praise Yah!
